Construction delay analysis that connects programme evidence to causation.

Constructive Advisory reviews the programme, project records and contractual context to explain what delayed the works, when the delay occurred, whether it affected completion and how confidently the available evidence supports that conclusion.

Singapore-based. Regionally experienced.

Constructive Advisory provides independent construction claims, delay, programme and dispute support from Singapore for matters across Asia-Pacific and other international regions.

The analysis is selected to suit the question, data quality, contractual framework, time available and value at stake. A method is not treated as a substitute for evidence or professional judgement.

  • Contractors preparing or testing an extension-of-time position
  • Employers and developers assessing delay submissions
  • Legal teams preparing for adjudication, mediation, arbitration or litigation
  • Consultancies requiring specialist programme and delay support

Bring structure to the issue before more cost is committed.

  • Completion has moved and the controlling causes are disputed
  • The baseline programme is weak, incomplete or no longer representative
  • Several delay events overlap and concurrency is alleged
  • A claim contains programme outputs but lacks a clear causal narrative
  • The parties need an independent view before formal proceedings escalate

A proportionate scope built around the decision.

  • Baseline and updated programme review
  • Critical-path and longest-path assessment
  • Delay-event identification and chronology development
  • Windows or time-slice analysis where appropriate
  • As-planned versus as-built and impacted analysis where appropriate
  • Concurrency and pacing review
  • Cause-and-effect testing against contemporaneous records
  • Review of assumptions, limitations and sensitivity

Clear deliverables with an auditable evidence trail.

The final deliverables and information request are adjusted to the dispute stage, materiality, available records and agreed programme.

Potential deliverables

What you may receive

  • Independent delay assessment or merits memorandum
  • Delay-event register and chronology
  • Programme observations and data-quality report
  • Window-by-window findings
  • Cause-and-effect matrix
  • Executive briefing for management or legal counsel
  • Technical report suitable for the agreed dispute stage
Typical information

What is usually reviewed

  • Contract and relevant amendments
  • Baseline, revised and updated programmes in native format
  • Progress records, reports, minutes and correspondence
  • Notices, claims and prior assessments
  • As-built dates and milestone records
  • Relevant design, procurement and access records

Evidence first. Method second. Conclusion last.

01

Frame the question

Define the decision the analysis must support, the contractual milestones, the relevant period and the required level of confidence.

02

Test the data

Review logic, calendars, constraints, progress, revisions and contemporaneous records before selecting or relying on a method.

03

Analyse causation

Identify the activities controlling completion in each relevant period and test whether each event actually affected them.

04

Explain the result

Separate fact, assumption and opinion and present the reasoning in language that commercial and legal decision-makers can use.

Practical answers before the first discussion.

Which delay analysis method should be used?

There is no universally correct method. The appropriate method depends on the contract, question, programme quality, records, timing of the analysis and proportionality. The method should follow the evidence, not the other way around.

Can delay be assessed without a perfect baseline programme?

Often yes, but limitations must be recognised. Alternative programme versions, updates, progress records and as-built evidence may support a reasoned assessment. The confidence of the conclusion should reflect the quality of the available data.

Does a late activity automatically prove critical delay?

No. An activity can be late without delaying a contractual completion milestone. The analysis must establish the controlling path and a defensible causal link to completion or another relevant milestone.

Can Constructive Advisory review another consultant's delay analysis?

Yes. Peer review may test methodology, data treatment, assumptions, logic, concurrency, causation and whether the conclusions are proportionate to the evidence.

A clear first discussion can save significant time later.

Share a brief outline of the project, claim or dispute. Initial enquiries are treated in confidence and remain subject to conflict and engagement checks.
